Stunts and Powers

Spellsinger: [-1] Music is magic, at least for Victoria. She uses her Performance skill for spellcasting control.

Arsenal: [-1] Victoria has access to an impressive supply of weaponry. Resource checks made to obtain weaponry get a two shift bonus.

Evocation: [-3] (Elements: Air, Water, Sprit/Earth) Evocation is the “thug” side of spellcasting, from some perspectives. It’s all about pushing energy from one place to another, quickly—and subtlety isn’t, truly, part of its vocabulary. Worse, it runs a real risk of spiraling out of the caster’s control. Those who have mastered Evocation are among the most feared spellcasters around. It’s not because they can create widespread destruction (although of course they can); it’s because they’re able to do potent spellcasting at a moment’s notice. Those who haven’t quite mastered evocation are usually dangerous as well—but only until they accidentally engineer their own demise

Thaumaturgy: [–3] Thaumaturgy is a subtle art—and slow. It was created by mortal spellcasters due to their need to produce great power but to keep that power under control better than Evocation ever could. This is done through careful preparation and ritual: Thaumaturgy can’t ever be used quickly enough to be much use in a fight. However, given enough time, preparation, materials, and the right caster, it’s more than a match for supernatural forces.

Wizard’s Constitution: [+0] Victoria is incredibly long lived for a human, able to recover from injuries just a little better than the next person.

Rising Conflict: What Shaped Victoria?

Dubbed a child prodigy (violin, voice, accoustic guitar) at an early age and with the shadow of the great Victor Martin looming over her, Victoria worked diligently to distinguish herself. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in mathematics from George Town University at the age of 19. Rhode Scholarship to obtain a Masters Degree in mechanical engineering.

Fresh out of school Victoria landed a job as a mechanical engineer with one of DC’s hottest engineering firms. Since she was just a child, she loved working with her hands to tinker with electronics and mechanical things. She now had access to a huge lab and great projects to design and tinker to her heart’s content. This all lead to frustration once he arcane powers manifested at the age of 21. “Science and Magic CAN coexist!” With this frustration came a switch from Bethooven and Bach to AC/DC and Jimi Hendrix and many nights playing in dive bars during open mic nights.
